Weekend Friends
Big Little Lies meets Clueless.
Food photographer, Rebecca, and her tween daughter, Willow, move from Alaska to Boca Raton, leaving behind their terrible secret about the death of Rebecca’s husband. They’re ready to start anew in the warmth of the sunshine state, hoping it will help vanquish Willow’s night terrors.
Both mother and daughter do their best to fit into the posh community and private school social hierarchy. All the while, Rebecca can’t shake the feeling she’s being followed. As her daughter becomes controlled and bullied by the popular group, Rebecca is drawn closer to the charismatic and sexy head of school, Mr. Brady. Soon, lies, deception, and secrets cause everything to spiral out of control, and both mother and daughter find themselves on the wrong side of their gated community, with devastating results.
Full of dark twists and turns, Weekend Friends makes you grateful you’re no longer a tween…or the parent of one.
